If you stay in this country club spa-like hotel, request a golf view, otherwise you'll be staring at the parking lot and CVS across the street. The room I stayed it was nice--you felt like you were in a room in your grandmother's house, provided your grandmother liked touches of southern charm (and wallpaper). I wouldn't call it luxury, but it was comfortable, clean, sunny, and the room service was reasonable and attentive. Everyone working there seemed helpful and friendly, and having a glass of wine and a flatbread on the terrace in the evening was relaxing and quiet.
Overall, Ballantyne might be the kind of place that Clooney might have stayed in for Up in the Air given its convention / golfer group vibe. Maybe I'm just not up on how it works for people in the south. There's not many appealing places to eat nearby, but chances are you will not be staying here long.
